Introduction
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the Australian medical care system and compare it to similar systems in other countries in order to highlight the major concerns and challenges. The Australian medical services framework may face two major challenges: (a) focusing on quality and outcomes of patients (b) assignment of assets (Lock, 2019). It emphasises the importance of evaluating the present subsidy process, providing patients with decision-making options, and continually analysing the adequacy of therapy.
Abstract of Policy
Owing to changing healthcare requirements, Australian Health care system has been under severe strain. Increased demand and expenses, disparities, complicated health issues and a desire to improve results are among them.
An independent evaluation of Australia's healthcare system discovered substantial inefficiencies and personnel shortages, as well as a desire for more public reporting on the availability of essential services. Policymakers are recommended to focus on quality care, needs of the patient and patient involvement in healthcare delivery, as well as the restructuring of financial a
angements (Lock, 2019).
A comprehensive examination of Australia's healthcare system in comparison to those of other advanced economies is required. The Australian federal, state and te
itory governments have released a variety of publications and statistics pertaining to Australia's healthcare industry. This article examines the Australian healthcare system and, when appropriate, compares it to those of other sophisticated nations to highlight the need for change.
The article gives an overview of Australia's public healthcare system. The National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA) of 2011 illustrates the financing structure for public hospitals in Australia (Guo, Tang, Wang & Zhao, 2019). It sheds light on the major concerns and issues confronting Australia's healthcare system. The essay ends with a conversation to emphasise the importance of change.
Research Criteria     
In four steps, information and data were gathered by conducting a search of relevant peer-reviewed publications, reports, book chapters and academic books. First, a comprehensive search of electronic databases at Google scholarly, Australia, was done. These searches were conducted using the terms Australian healthcare system, hospital financing, hospital care, Australian healthcare, Australia and healthcare.
Second, using the aforementioned terms, a
oad Google search was run. Third, a concentrated article on the Australian Productivity Commission, the AIHW's and Commonwealth of Australia's was done to uncover healthcare data relevant to Australia and other sophisticated health systems. Lastly, , the authors' EndNote reference li
aries were used to choose references linked to bureaucratic capacity and policy implementation mistake.
Key Elements of Policy
Ministerial Forward
There are three types of healthcare systems in the globe, with the hy
id model combining the market models and welfare state. Healthcare is paid for with tax dollars in a social welfare model, and the government is solely responsible for delivering healthcare services. The Australian healthcare system is a hy
id model in which nationals, residents, and immigrants can purchase private insurance on top of their existing public health insurance and have access to both private and public hospitals.
In the period 2010–2014, Australia had the lowest public health spending as a proportion of total health expenditure in four nations with similar health systems, compared to France, Belgium and Canada (Guo et al., 2019). The management and approval of healthcare services is required for the government to provide healthcare.
Vision Statement
The vision of Australia’s healthcare system is to provide Australians with the finest health. A sustainable, robust and responsive primary health care system that improves chronic condition management, reduces the need for hospital services, prevents disease and keeps people well, particularly those who now face inequitable health outcomes (Smith et al., 2018).
Goals
The Commonwealth, te
itory governments and state governments have agreed to collaborate to guarantee the primary health care system's continued development and sustainability,...
